This was a wonderful property there was so much to do within a short distance wish we could have stayed a whole week. Hosts were very hospitable delivering firewood and giving us a shuttle so we could pick up our kayaks after a day of paddling they're also very knowledgeable of the area and we're able to point out a few things that we took advantage of being able to do that we would not have found if it wasn't for them

Amazing evening for a camping trip. Had plenty of fire wood for an evening back after exploring all day. Host was hospitable and the site was private and well maintained with everything we could have needed!

The host was outstanding, the spot was super cute and easy to camp at and it was a great experience. The spot is right off the road, across the street from a stream and down the street from a dam where you can easily go hang out and/or fish without a lot of other people around. There's a picnic table, swing, trash can and fire pit, as shown in the pics. The pond is right next to the campsite, yet somehow I did not get bothered by a single mosquito even though they eat me alive in my own backyard that does not have any kind of water nearby. It was really convenient and just a super easy place to camp. My only warning to other campers is not to park too far in beyond the fire pit- my dumb arse got a Jeep Gladiator stuck in the mud. Susan and her husband had to come tow me out, which they did with ease and they were really nice about it, even though I interrupted their entire Sunday. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you.

We came here to celebrate my boyfriend’s 30th birthday and had a few friend’s join us for a few days and it was a wonderful experience! This was our first time using Hipcamp so we weren’t sure what to expect but our experience tops any camping experience we’ve had previously! The weather was beautiful with it being warm and sunny during the day and nice and cool during the nights! It was so cozy and quiet! I loved listening to the sounds of the frogs in the pond near the site and hearing the rushing water in the near by river! It was really nice looking up at the stars at night too! I also loved how many butterflies there were flying around! Susan was a very responsive and attentive host, making sure we had everything we needed and I would recommend this site to anyone looking for a nice peaceful and quiet weekend camping trip!

If you’re looking for a peaceful escape with no cell service and stunning scenery, this is the perfect spot! Our jobs can be so consuming, and this getaway was exactly what we needed to unwind, camp, and reconnect with the outdoors. This was our 3rd camping trip this year, and without a doubt, the best place we’ve stayed yet. I didn’t check the mailbox right away (which had a tablecloth inside), so I made a last-minute trip to town to buy one—turns out, I didn’t need to! The guest book is such a great touch; reading everyone’s notes had us laughing and appreciating the simple joys of camping. Morning coffee by the pond, with the sun shining and birds singing, was absolute perfection. We explored a bit but also spent plenty of time simply relaxing and napping—and it was wonderful. Big shoutout to Susan, who had our fire already going and plenty of firewood waiting for us. Considering it poured the entire drive there, that was a huge help! We’re already planning our next trip back—can’t wait to return!

Had a great Memorial Day weekend camping in our van! The site was perfect and felt secluded, but was easy to find near a quiet road. Even though it rained the first two days, there was plenty of tree cover to keep it from feeling like a downpour. Loved being close to the picturesque pond where we could hear the frogs calling each night. It was sooo nice having a fire pit and picnic table already set up, as well as a mailbox full of other little amenities and guest book with other campers’ messages. There was no Verizon or Mint Mobile cell service, which was nice to let us disconnect. Thanks for a great site that let us novice campers have such a fun weekend!

Great spot! Easy to find, just off the road but very private and quiet. Loved the swinging chair by the fire pit and the benches by the pond. Porta-potty just a few minute walk down the road. Host was friendly and communicative.

We loved staying at this site! Cute little secluded getaway! If you love fishing, this is the place to stay! Nice pond right next to the site. Although we got caught it a rain storm, we still made the most of it! Our host was great! Stopped by and said if it got too bad we can always seek shelter there instead! Definitely would come again!

It was just as described from the reviews we read. Susan stopped by to see if we needed anything. We loved her mailbox with all the little things you might need or you forgot. She had a notebook in there as well so campers could leave a note about their stay. The site was perfect. A little close to the road, but the traffic was very minimal and mostly kayakers. The pond was great and our dogs loved it too...no leashes all weekend ! We will be back !!

This was such an amazing spot! We loved how close we were to the stream, this campsite is very well named! My husband caught some rainbow trouts on the fly and our pups absolutely loved getting to swim in the stream. Susan was an amazing host. She made sure to let me know about a meteor shower taking place and even offered to start a campfire for us! I would highly recommend this spot to anyone wanting a peaceful camping spot in this area!

Took my pets to a state park campground several months ago. Won’t do that again. Neighboring campers making noise all night, folks walking their dogs by all day long. Susan’s property was secluded, quiet and serene, other than the sounds of the frogs in the pond as we observed the stars. Directions took me right there no problem. Lots to see in the area.

Susan, was a very kind, accommodating hostess. The site was tucked away in a nicely wooded area, within a short distance of a pond. It had rained recently, and the site was quite muddy and buggy, however, so we decided not to stay. If it had been another time, it may have been okay, but it was not what we were hoping for.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time here! Though it rained, we had shelter, the canopy of trees helped our fire from going out all day long. The tent spot was level, the added swing was precious, and we spent so much time looking for frogs along the pond. The river across the road is was cool and peaceful. The porta potty by the kayak launch was clean and only a two minute walk, if you don’t have a camp toilet. Perfect for our weekend away!

The camp site was fantastic! Owners were very helpful. It rained most of our stay and the owners offered to let us borrow a canopy to stay dry. The pond was great and the creek across the street was a lot of fun to play in as well.

Awesome location with superb fishing. The site sits just off a very quiet country road where we saw two cars all weekend. The site has a great pond that is well kept and great for kids as the water edge is well maintained. There is no water on the site which we expected, but we filtered water from the stream that is maybe 150 feet from the camp. The stream is thick with trout! It is artificial only directly across from the camp but bait is allowed just a short distance down the road. The site was clean and well kept. Small items like a frying pan, grate for the fire, candle lanterns, and skewers for cooking were on site and a nice touch. There are plenty of trees to hang tarps or a hammock. Despite the area having a pond and some low lying bog, we had no issues with mosquitoes. The host stopped in to answer any questions we had and was very nice. If you like larger fires or stay up later at night you may wish to order two bundles of wood per day. If you were stingy or hit the sack early, you could do one bundle per day. We will be making the 4.5 hour trip back in the future to stay here again!
